EREQ Ecotoxicologically Relevant Exposure Quantity |
Not a value, but a type of quantity, that gives the best mechanistic link between exposure and effects in an ecotoxicological experiment, and that is calculated/estimated both in the field (PEQ) and the ecotoxicological tests (dose/EED) |
PEQ Predicted Exposure Quantity |
A value; i.e. the quantification of an EREQ for a specific compound in the field/area of use. |
Dose | A value: administered exposure in laboratory ecotoxicological tests |
EED Estimated Exposure Dose |
A value: estimated exposure in effect field studies |
